The Massachusetts COVID-19 Temporary Emergency Paid Sick Leave Program requires employers to make leave time available to employees for certain reasons related to COVID-19. This program is effective from May 28, 2021 to April 1, 2022, or when funding runs out, whichever is first.
The Emergency Pay is implemented as a reimbursement program, meaning it does not go through payroll. Employers need to apply to MA for reimbursement.
For information about eligibility, reimbursement limits, and how to apply for reimbursement, see the COVID-19 Temporary Emergency Paid Sick Leave Program site.
